were dealing with DBG (-d) LDSTATIC/NOPIE (-p), and the rest with
disabling/enabling sanitizers.
2. Use emalloc/estrdup for all the allocators instead of only some cases.
3. Add -V varspec which passes variables on the command line (as DBG
and LDSTATIC used to be passed before) instead of appending them
to the on-the-fly Makefile using -v varspec.
4. Change the distrib and rescue Makefiles to use -V instead of the removed
flags.
The motivation of this is to make variable handling consistent, less magical,
and remove the need for changing crunchgen each time we want to add disabling
an option by default.

- ldconfig in netbsd refers to a.out binaries only. We've been ELF-only
since NetBSD 2.0 or so, and having it in /rescue served little purpose
even before that, as /rescue is standalone.
- Using MI obsolete to avoid the need for MD set lists where ldconfig
is the sole entry
The umb(4) driver provides support for USB MBIM (Mobile Broadband
Interface Model) devices.
MBIM devices establish connections via cellular networks such as GPRS,
UMTS, and LTE. They appear as a regular point-to-point network interface, transporting raw IP frames.
Required configuration parameters like PIN and APN have to be set with
umbctl(8), a new tool specific to this driver. The IP address is configured
automatically; the default route and DNS server information have to be set
separately.
The driver is not fully functional yet, it is therefore still marked as
experimental and disabled by default. Any help welcome to complete it!
Tested on NetBSD/amd64, with a Sierra Wireless EM7345 LTE modem on a Lenovo
ThinkPad T440s. No functional change expected otherwise.
Originally, MKCRYPTO was introduced because the United States
classified cryptography as a munition and restricted its export. The
export controls were substantially relaxed fifteen years ago, and are
essentially irrelevant for software with published source code.
In the intervening time, nobody bothered to remove the option after
its motivation -- the US export restriction -- was eliminated. I'm
not aware of any other operating system that has a similar option; I
expect it is mainly out of apathy for churn that we still have it.
Today, cryptography is an essential part of modern computing -- you
can't use the internet responsibly without cryptography.
The position of the TNF board of directors is that TNF makes no
representation that MKCRYPTO=no satisfies any country's cryptography
regulations.
My personal position is that the availability of cryptography is a
basic human right; that any local laws restricting it to a privileged
few are fundamentally immoral; and that it is wrong for developers to
spend effort crippling cryptography to work around such laws.

P.S. Reviewing all the uses of MKCRYPTO in src revealed a lot of
*bad* crypto that was conditional on it, e.g. DES in telnet... That
should probably be removed too, but on the grounds that it is bad,
not on the grounds that it is (nominally) crypto.
keep both names around.
One place that got missed is /rescue so let's update it for consistency
with all the other places.

Remove rtsol(8) from rc.d/network.
Add -w seconds command to ifconfig to wait for N seconds for until DAD
has finished on all addresses.
Use ifconfig -w in rc.d/network instead of a forced sleep.
As discussed on tech-net@
_rtld_tls_allocate and _rtld_tls_free. libpthread uses this functions to
setup the thread private area of all new threads. ld.elf_so is
responsible for setting up the private area for the initial thread.
Similar functions are called from _libc_init for static binaries, using
dl_iterate_phdr to access the ELF Program Header.
Add test cases to exercise the different TLS storage models. Test cases
are compiled and installed on all platforms, but are skipped on
platforms not marked for TLS support.
This material is based upon work partially supported by
The NetBSD Foundation under a contract with Joerg Sonnenberger.
It is inspired by the TLS support in FreeBSD by Doug Rabson and the
clean ups of the DragonFly port of the original FreeBSD modifications.
